FOUND DEAD.
Melancholy Ending of Life that Prom
ised Well.

Melancholy Ending of a Life that Prom
ised Well.
Yesterday morning, about o'clock,
while the Eureka Saloon, X street, between
Second and Third, was being cleaned up
for the day, the sweeper endeayored to
arouse a large man who was sitting in an
upright position by one of the tables in the
rear of the establishment, but he did not
stir when called to. and when he was
touched it was found that he was dead.
The bartender thinks he entered the saloon
and took his seat about II o'clock Monday
night, without saying anything, and, as it
was presumed that he had fallen asleep, no
attention was paid to him until morning.
From his position, with one hand resting
upon his cane, and the other lying upon
the table with dime beneath 1t, 1t is evil
dent that he entered the saloon intend
ing to buy drink, but death
came upon him so suddenly that his
life went out like the shutting of candle
Deceased was E. ]. Lansing, at one time a
purser on up-river boats, but in 1869 or
1S7O he entered into business as proprietor
of hat store on J street, between Second
and Third, succeeding TO some extent to
the business previously conducted by A.
Lamott and Others In course of time he
failed. and the habit of drinking to excess,
which had been growing upon him, soon
acquired the mastery, and he went to the
dogs" rapidly, finally bringing up in the
county hospital to be treated for paralysis
and other disorders. When he was able to
leave the institution his strength of mind
and courage seemed to have left him, and
he has been wreck ever since, happy only
when friends furnished him with the means
to purchase the stimulants which, while he
was under their influence, made him feel
man again, but only to leave him in
deeper depths when their enlivening infiu-
ence wore away. He was 60 years of age,
and native of Lansingburg, New York-a
place named after his ancestors-and a
cousin of James Lansing, ex-Sheriff and
Assessor of Sacramento county, who, it will
be remembered, was killed by Raten. Coro-
ner Clark held an inquest in the case yes
terday afternoon, and the jury found from
the evidence, more especially that of DR..
White. under whose treatment he had fire.
quently been, that death resulted from
alcoholism.

Parodns and Combinations.

Yesterday Governor Stoneman issued a
pardon to Leonard Collins, who was con-
yicted of an assault to murder in the Supe-
rior Court of San Francisco, in April, 1886,
and sentenced to two years in the House of
Correction. 1t is clearly established that
the boy pleaded guilty to the charge, and
was sentenced without an understanding of
the circumstances. 1t is well-established
fact that he was guilty of no more than a
simple assault, for which he has been ade-
ouately punished, which facts are set forth
in the petition of the prosecuting attorney
and others.
John t. Murphy was also pardoned. He
was convicted of an assault with a deadly
weapon in the Superior Court of San Fran
cisco. in December, 1886, and sentenced to
the State Prison for two years 1t is stated
that Murphy bore an unblemished charac-
ter prior to his offense, which was commit
ted under great proYocation, in the heat OF
passion, and is recommended for cleInency
by the sentencing magistrate, Judge Toohy,
and many representative citizens.
Victor Franco, who was convicted of the
crime of rape in the Superior Court of Los
Angeles, in January, 1882, and sentenced
to fourteen years, was commuted to ten
years on the recommendation of the Board
of State Prison Directors, on the ground
| that his offense was not a case of rape, and
| did not deserve so heavy punishment.

EDS. RECORD UNION: perceive that the
City Superintendent of Schools, in his re-
port TO the Board of Education, expresses
personal regret at falling off in the num-
Der of High School pupils studying Ger
man. Inasmuch as High School pupils are
required to study either Latin, German or
French, and it is optional with them Tor
their parents) which one of these foreign
languages they shall elect to study, can
not see what difference it should make to
any person outside the pupils families
which one is selected. If a pupil prefers
French to German or Latin, or the latter to
either of the other two, it seems to me that
il is a matter that rests solely with such
pupil, and in no way concerns the City SUI
perintendent or any other school official.
The fact of any pupil, or any number of
pupils, preferring one of these optional
studies to another. does not imply lack OF
interestin their work. PARENT.

Mrs. All Gonc,s Case Again.

Justice Post yesterday rendered his de-
cision on the motion to dismiss, in the
case of Chin All Fee, charged with abduct-
ing and falsely imprisoning Mrs. All Gong,
which he had held under advisement since
last Friday. He denied the motion. and
directed the defense to proceed with their
testimony. During the hearing it was pre-
posed that the Court. attorneys, etc, pro-
coed to the house in Hoptown where Mrs.
All Gong testified she was frequently made
TO conceal herselfin hole under the floor
whenever strangers approached the prem
ises, and the Court consenting, vehicles
were procured and the journey made. The
house was found, but there was no hole in
the ground beneath the floor, nor were
there any indications that there had been
one. At least one of the party came back
quite firmly convinced that Mrs. Gong
while giving her testimony in her artless
Chinese way had INDUCED in romancing
occasionally. The case will come up for
further hearing at 10 clock this morning.
